Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

more than one form of satire
isn't it? because tier one thinks you're being serious and hates you.
tier two realises you are being ironic in some way and mocks tier one for falling for it.
tier three realises that actually you are really taking the piss out of the people who think like this.
then again, 50% of what people say when they are joking is true. i am going to choose to believe it's the bit about donkey incest...
